Brought up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, Nick Fawcett served as a Baptist minister for 13 years, and as a chaplain with TocH for 3, before deciding to focus on writing and editing, which he continues with today, despite wrestling with myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood. He lives in Wellington, Somerset, with his wife, Deborah, and - when they are at home from university - his two children, Samuel and Kate. Delighting in the beauty of the West Country, Nick and Deborah love nothing more than walking stretches of the South West coast path at weekends, and Nick - as well as finding time for online games of chess and Scrabble alongside his many editing commitments - finds constant inspiration for his numerous books in the lanes and footpaths near his house. His aim, increasingly, is to write material free of religious jargon that reaches out to people of all faiths and none.

Prayers For All Seasons - Book 1
Prayers For All Seasons is a comprehensive prayer resource for public worship. In three sections, The Christian Life, Life and Faith and Ordinary Sundays, there are prayers for every situation - prayers of petition, praise, thanksgiving, confession and intercession, offertory and communion prayers, prayers of dismissal and blessing - as well as for specific occasions throughout the Church's year and the lives of its people. All are written in contemporary language for the needs and concerns of today. Nick Fawcett's gift is to write prayers which have a down-to-earth and modern feel and at the same time great depth of meaning. He offers this collection, the fruits of his own experience and continued learning, not as a way to pray but simply as a source of ideas and inspiration for leaders of public worship and those who pray with them.

In these prayers, inspired by the Celtic tradition, Nick Fawcett fuses elements of our Christian past with the present, the ancient with the contemporary. In language at times poetic, at times reflecting a deep affinity with nature, and throughout free of any doctrinal axe to grind, he roots prayer in daily life and the world around us, locating the divine in the down-to-earth, the heavenly in the here and now. There are prayers for ourselves, seeking help in meeting the challenges of life and faith. There are prayers for others and – so vitally important today – for our environment. And there are prayers of praise, worship and thanksgiving, celebrating and responding to the awesome mystery of God. Here is a resource to breathe new life into your daily devotions; prayers that will speak not only for you but also to you.

No Ordinary Story (To Put It Another Way)
The parables - we know them so well. Or do we? We may think we have learnt everything they have to teach us, but in these unforgettable stories can be found some of Jesus' most powerful and challenging teaching about the nature of discipleship and the kingdom of God.No Ordinary Stories does not set out to add anything to the words of Jesus - those stand complete in themselves. Rather, each of the 38 meditations focuses on a particular aspect of what he said and seeks to draw out its implications for our own lives.The Meditations can be used independently to give a fresh perspective on the Bible readings and are also woven into 11 themed services for in-depth exploration of Jesus' teaching in the parables.No Ordinary Stories was originally published under the title To Put It Another Way.

Praying Without Pretence
If you find prayer a struggle sometimes, unsure of what to say or how to say it, this is the book for you. For everyone, praying can occasionally seem more of a burden than a blessing. We assume there’s a right way of doing it, certain words we ought to use, an approach we must adhere to. In these pages, Nick Fawcett dispels that myth, offering 100 prayers that express not how we’re meant to feel but how we truly feel; not what we’re meant to say but what we want to say. If you’re feeling miserable, disillusioned, bored, tell God about it. If you’re angry with God, spit it out. If you’re troubled by doubts and questions, say so. Why pretend to feel what you don’t? Why go through the motions if they mean nothing to you? Be yourself; tell it as it is. Despite what you may think or fear, God won’t be shocked. Praying without pretence, that’s what we should aim for.Real, honest prayer. If God can't accept that, who can?- Nick Fawcett
